By the time Zaki felt the cellphone in his hand kept vibrating non-stop, he could only sigh and decided to break the silence enveloping the dining room.
He cleared out his throat and as soon as the sound he made reached their ears, the girl turned towards him.
“Sorry for the intrusion… your husband need to answer this call so…” Zaki said as he smiled forcefully at her when Davi immediately replied.
“No, it’s fine.” She said and she’s about to stand and leave when the man stopped her.
“No, no, you don’t need to leave. This is not confidential or anything.” he said and Davi sat back.
Zaki then moved towards Sei and reached out the cellphone in front of him.
“They wanted to talk to you. They’ve been calling nonstop now.” He said and Sei could only took the phone with an uninterested expression.
He answered the call and listened quietly.
“Hello? Sei?” the voice of their adoptive mother rang and Sei just replied with an “Mm.”
“You see, your little brother’s fiancee will celebrate her birth day tomorrow evening and your grandfather kept nagging me to make him come home and attend her party. You know he won’t come if you stay there so, can you both come home today?” she pleaded and Sei looked at Zaki who was looking at the foods on the table with sparkling eyes, before he replied.
“Mm. I’ll tell him.” he said before he ended the call.
“What did they say?” Zaki then asked the moment Sei gave back the cellphone to him.
“They want you to go home.” Sei said and Zaki just raised his brow.
“They said you need to attend your fiancee’s birthday.” he continued and Zaki almost choked.
Davi on the hand excitedly joined the conversation the moment she heard that Mr. Chen actually have a fiancee.
“Mr. Chen, you have fiancee?!” she exclaimed and the two men turned towards her.
“Mm. He has. Her birthday is tomorrow.” Sei was the one who answered her and Davi gasped.
“Wow, I thought you are single. Congrats Mr. Chen.” She said with wide smile and Zaki could only scratch the back of his neck while forcing a soft laugh.
“Wait, tomorrow? What a coincidence. My best friend’s birthday is also tomorrow.” She continued and sweat drops fell from Zaki’s forehead as he murmured deep within him.
Err… that’s no coincidence actually Miss, because your best friend and my fiancee are the same person…
While Zaki was lost for words to say, Sei spoke.
“You go. Kir is here so you don’t have to worry.” Sei said and Zaki’s eyes widened a bit before he suddenly turned towards Davi as though he didn’t hear him.
“Miss, you’re not going to attend your best friend’s birth day party?” he asked and the girl pursed her lips.
“She’s always inviting me every year as well as now but this time, she celebrated it somewhere very far so…” She replied when Sei who saw how she cutely pursed her lips suddenly spoke.
“Far? Where?” he asked and Davi immediately answered.
“Abroad.” She replied and Sei looked at her with a gaze indicating that he wanted to help her attend the party no matter how far it was.
Zaki on the other hand just looked at then until the girl continued talking.
“Sei, why don’t we go buy a gift for Mr. Chen’s fiancee?” she asked lively as ever and the man just agreed without a single second of hesitation.
“Mm. Let’s buy gift for your best friend too.” Sei said and Davi smiled brightly.
Looking at her bright face, Sei’s expression also brightened miraculously as though he was the mirror reflecting her every emotion.
That moment, Zaki got pretty confused.
“Err… aren’t you two fighting just now?” he uttered and the couple both looked at him with the same clueless expression.
“Huh? Who’s fighting?” They both asked and Zaki could only facepalm.
Ahh… these two… now I wonder what will happen to them when the day of their first fight comes.
…
After their meal, Davi went to the kitchen while Sei and Zaki were left in the table.
Zaki’s palm was on his stomach as he talked.
“Ahh… I’m so full. Anyway, Sei, you’re planning to help her attend her friend’s birthday tomorrow, right?” He asked and Sei just glanced at him before he replied.
“Mm. I want her to be happy.”
“So? What are you planning to do? Are you still telling me to go back home alone?” Zaki asked when Sei spoke.
“You don’t need to worry, Kir is here and i’ll stay here until you’re back, so just go.” Sei replied and Zaki stood.
“Then, you’re going to let her attend her friend’s birthday alone?” Zaki asked again and Sei’s brows knitted.
Looking at the change in his expression, Zaki moved towards him and put his arm on his shoulder as he spoke softly.
“Actually, my fiancee and her best friend are the same person.” Zaki said and Sei’s eyes widened.
“Well, you can stay here then. Don’t worry, i’ll take care of your wife.” He continued as he walked away when Sei’s voice rang loudly.
“We… the three of us will go.” He said and Zaki grinned with a victorious mischievous smile.
